12-Sep-2012

Ben Brown struck a fluent unbeaten 76 and Steve Magoffin produced a superb spell with the ball to help Sussex step up their bid for second place in the LV= County Championship Divison One table on the first day against Durham.

Brown (pictured) went in with his side on 67 for five and helped them to 211 all out before Magoffin produced a devastating spell with 3-19 in 10 overs.

Durham had recovered from 65 for four thanks to a stand of 53 between Mark Stoneman and Paul Collingwood when the Australian seamer returned for a further five overs.

But it was Monty Panesar who ensured 16 wickets would fall on the opening day by taking 2-4 in five overs as Durham closed on 131 for six.
